The amount of time you have to amend your return depends on whether your Form IL-990-T-X is being filed to report a state or federal change. State change - If your change decreases the tax due to Illinois and you are entitled to an overpayment, you must file Form IL-990-T-X within three years after the due date of the return (including extensions), three years after the date your original return was filed, or one year after the date your Illinois tax was paid, whichever is latest. If your change increases the tax due to Illinois, you should file Form IL-990-T-X and pay the tax, penalty, and interest promptly. Federal change - You should not file this form until you receive a federal finalization notification from the IRS stating that they have accepted your change, either by paying a refund, or by final assessment, agreement, or judgment. If your federal change decreases the tax due to Illinois and you are entitled to an overpayment, you must file Form IL-990-T-X within two years plus 120 days of federal finalization. If your federal change increases the tax due to Illinois, you must file Form IL-990-T-X and pay any additional tax within 120 days of IRS partial agreement or finalization. In order to avoid late payment penalties, you must attach proof of the federal finalization date, showing the change was reported to Illinois within 120 days of IRS acceptance, or you may be assessed a late-payment penalty.

2 If you fail to notify us of your change by filing Form IL-990-T-X, we may issue a notice of deficiency at any time. Once you file your change, we may issue a notice of deficiency within two years. Who should sign the return? If you are a corporation, your Form IL-990-T-X must be signed by the president, vice president, treasurer, or any other officer duly authorized to sign the return. In the case of a bankruptcy, a receiver, trustee, or assignee must sign any return required to be filed on behalf of the corporation. If you are a trust, Form IL-990-T-X must be signed by a fiduciary of the trust. If there are two or more joint fiduciaries, the signature of one will comply with the requirements of the IITA. The signature verifies by written declaration (and under penalties of perjury) that the signing individual has personally examined the return and the return is true, correct, and complete. The fact that an individual s name is signed to a return is prima facie evidence that the individual is authorized to sign the return on behalf of the taxpayer. Any person paid to prepare the return (other than an authorized officer, fiduciary, or a person who is a regular employee of the taxpayer, such as a clerk, secretary, or bookkeeper) must provide a signature, date the return, and enter the paid preparer s taxpayer identification number. If the paid preparer is an employee or partner of a firm or corporation, the preparer must also provide the firm s name and address, and instead of the preparer s taxpayer identification number, the preparer must provide the firm s FEIN. Self-employed preparers must provide their own name, address, and taxpayer identification number in the appropriate spaces. Can a reasonable facsimile be used? In general, you must obtain and use forms prescribed by the Illinois Department of Revenue. Separate statements not on forms provided or approved by the Department will not be accepted and you will be asked for appropriate documentation. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in failure to file penalties, a delay in the processing of your return, or a delay in the generation of any overpayment. Additionally, failure to submit appropriate documentation when requested may result in a referral to our Audit Bureau for compliance action. Exempt organizations must complete Form IL-990-T-X. Do not send a computer printout with line numbers and dollar amounts attached to a blank copy of the return. Computer generated printouts are not acceptable, even if they are in the same format as the Department forms. Computer generated forms from a Department-approved software developer are acceptable. What are the penalties and interest? Penalties You will owe a late-filing penalty if you do not file a processable return by the extended due date; a late-payment penalty if you do not pay the tax you owe by the original due date of the return; a bad check penalty if your remittance is not honored by your financial institution; What if I need additional assistance or forms?
